Zilda, the hotel-keeper's daughter, was accustomed to men who offered her light gallantry. It was because she did not like such men that she learned to love rather the better word might be, to adore little John Gilby.
But this was the wave that sealed the doom of the town and most of its inhabitants, including the hotel-keeper's family and all that he possessed. This is one only out of thousands of cases of bereavement and destruction.
After attending to their horses, the new arrivals joined the others at the fire, and explained that at the hotel-keeper's suggestion they had meant to head for the Indian village, and make inquiries on their way up at the logging camp. Though Blake talked to them, he had a preoccupied look, and Harding knew that he was thinking of the letter.
It could not be his clothes, for Jimmy Gates, the hotel-keeper's son, was the best-dressed boy in town; it could not be his appearance, for though he was undoubtedly good-looking, he did not begin to be as handsome as Herman Richards; it could not be the place where he lived, for the Carson house was the largest and most attractive in town.
It was hazardous to inquire, for, while he was dressed, by the hotel-keeper's provision, like a citizen of Munich, he had not the speech of the residents. In his quandary he was greatly relieved when the horse pricked up his ears and gave a whinny in a kind of recognition.

The polite hotel-keeper's blandness all failed him for once, and, with much stammering and confusion, with many apologies and excuses, he confessed that there had arisen a rumor how he could not say to the effect that the lady was not Mrs.
"You know he married a young woman the hotel-keeper's daughter, who used to wait at the table and after my mother and sister came out to keep house for me at Boomville it was quite impossible for me to see much of him, for he seldom went out without his wife, you know." "Yes," said Stacy dryly, "I think you didn't like his marriage.
